worthwhile investment. ~----It is to be expected that small Canadian Inve stment Every Canadian student represents an investment on the part of Canadian taxpayers. And a huge investment it is. For a dozen years or more, young Cana- dians get their education at schools, colleges and universities which are built, equipped and staffed at enormous cost to the nation. Provided the knowledge which the student gains eventually is translated into professional or technical skills which are employed in Canada on be- half of Canadians, there is no more But the pro- viso is an important one. Every year, some young Canadians are to be found completing their edu- cation United States. Usually, no more than one or two years are involved, but it is during this time, while they prepare for graduation, that they, along with U.S. students, face intensive "on campus" recruitment drives from U.S. com- panies. Despite tempting offers, many Cana- dian students would prefer to come home and begin their working career in their own country. Since few Cana- dian companies are on the scene, how- ever, they lack information concerning appropriate openings for them in Cana- dian industry. "growth" companies, many of whom are seeking young management and technical personnel, can mount campus campaigns in the U.S. It would not even pay most big corporations to do so. Yet Canadian industry has a big stake in attracting people of this calibre in a An Advertising Gimmick The Public School Board of Stouff- ville has agreed to permit one tooth- paste company to conduct a series of "tests--among pupils at both Orchard ~ Park and Summitview., We think the firm, in asking the trustees to approve this experimental program, is asking too much, says the Stouffville Tribune. Already, several parents of Grade 3 boys and girls have questioned any poli- cy that would make their children 'gui- nea pigs' in what we feel is only an ad- vertising gimmick.

Recognizing this, the Research Branch of the federal Department of Manpower and Immigration is current- ly publishing a Directory of Canadians Studying in the United States. Free to companies on request, it contains bio- graphical data on several hundred un- dergaduates and postgraduates. Supplementing this, members of the Canadian Club at Harvard Graduate School of. Business Administration on their own initiative issue an annual brochure, Potential, detailing the quali- fications and photographs of those in- terested in Canadian employment. As an evidence of its concern to see as many such young Canadians as pos- sible repatriated and working in Can- ada, the Canadian Manufacturers' As- sociation, for the third consecutive year, is commending both publications to the attention of its more than 6;300 mem- bers. (In the case of Potential copies are available on request from CMA of- fices across Canada.) The results over the past two years fully justify promotion of these sources of trained personnel and encourage the hope that a significant and growing number of these highly educated young 'Canadians will be regained for Canada.

How about a straight eight billion, after taxes? You want ten? Don't be ridiculous. We won't go a nickel past nine. After all, we own most of the country anyway. A deal? Right. Take over." It wasn't quite that simple, of course. Joe had to call a meeting of the War Council.
